\|nationality=Malwish \|world=Scadrial \|universe=[[Cosmere]] \|books=[[Mistborn Era 2]] }} '''Jordis''' is the [[Southern Scadrian]] captain of the airship ''[[Brunstell]]''.{{book ref\|~~mb5~~mb6\|29}} A dutiful captain, she leads her crew in a fight against the [[Set]]'s soldiers near the [[Sovereign's temple]]{{book ref\|mb6\|29}} and returns Wax and his companions home to Elendel.{{book ref\|mb6\|31}} == Appearance and Personality == \|Jordis to Wax{{book ref\|mb6\|30}} }} Little is known of Jordis's appearance. Like most Southerners, Jordis wears a mask over her face at all times, signaling her expressions and moods with gestures of her hands.{{book ref\|mb6\|30}} As one of the Malwish, she likely changes her mask periodically depending on her profession or mood.{{book ref\|mb6\|22}} She is much shorter than Wax, but can still appear to tower over others when she is enraged.{{book ref\|mb6\|30}} Jordis also has harsh eyes, that some think ~~maker~~make her look like a soldier or a killer.{{book ref\|mb6\|31}} She is also tough, able to withstand frostbitten toes{{book ref\|mb6\|29}} and still not wear a warmth medallion so she can speak with Wax.{{book ref\|mb6\|30}} Jordis is a confident and strong-willed woman, willing to demand her due and speak her mind even when faced with strong opposition.{{book ref\|mb6\|30}} Jordis is also a canny negotiator. When arguing with Wax about ownership of the Bands and the salvaged airship, she refuses to back down until she has secured a fair deal for her and her crew. While other Southerners are intimidated by his nature as Metalborn, she refuses to let him have their only method of returning home. Jordis instead threatens war in an attempt to bring her people home. She is no fool though, and understands not to push too far when she is already getting a good deal.{{book ref\|mb6\|31}} Even still, Jordis may have something of a temper; she is furious that they will return home without the Bands or their original ship.{{book ref\|mb6\|30}} She keeps this tightly controlled though, even though sometimes she appears on the edge of raging and shouting. == History == === Searching for the Bands === At some point in her early life, Jordis may have been a soldier.{{book ref\|mb6\|31}} By 342 at the ~~lastest~~latest, Jordis had become an the airship captain of the ''[[Brunstell]]'',{{book ref\|mb6\|29}} which she claimed was a simple trading ~~Vessel~~vessel.{{book ref\|mb6\|31}} Somehow Jordis obtained a map to the ~~Soverign~~Sovereign's temple that had been brought back by the survivors of a failed expedition to destroy it.{{book ref\|mb6\|21}} Jordis took the ''Brunstell'' north with a crew of almost one hundred airmen, following the map to the ~~Soverign~~Sovereign's temple in hopes of finding the Bands of Mourning.{{book ref\|mb6\|21}} While piloting the ship above the [[Seran Range]] near the temple, Jordis's ship was caught in a storm{{book ref\|mb6\|21}} and blown ofoff course, crashing into the town of Dulsing,{{book ref\|mb6\|17}} and killing some of her crew.{{book ref\|mb6\|21}} While the locals were kindly initially, when the [[Set]] arrived, Jordis and the other survivors were captured.{{book ref\|mb6\|21}} === Journey to the Temple === After Wax secured the ship and the Set's soldiers were defeated Jordis lead her crew aboard the ship to secure it and make sure no one remained inside.{{book ref\|mb6\|30}} When Jordis finished her inspection, she swapped to the translation medallion and came to the field outside the temple with some of her airmen to talk to Wax and his companions. She thanked Wax for his help but explained that she expected her property, the ship and the Bands of Mourning, to be returned to her. To Jordis' anger, Wax refused to return them, claiming they were his by right of salvage. Jordis told him that her crew had been poorly treated by the northerners and he risked war by refusing to return their property. Wax still refused, saying that if there was to be war, he would not give them a powerful weapon to fight it with. Steris interrupted their argument and convinced Wax to return the ship to Jordis, pointing out that the Southerners would have no way home without it and that they could trade access to Metalborn for ships with the Malwish.{{book ref\|mb6\|30}} Jordis was uneasy with this deal, explaining that she could not speak for the other nations among the southerners. Steris suggested then that the Bands be given to the kandra, only to be used in the event of an unprovoked attack by the southerners. Jordis was frustrated by this, feeling that she was walking away with a lesser prize, returning with a badly injured crew and an out-of-date ship and leaving the Bands behind. Steris continued to negotiate, explaining that Wax's seat on the senate would allow him to support favorable treaties with the Malwish. Jordis remained dissatisfied and furious, but realizing that Wax and Steris were offering her a much better deal than was necessary,{{book ref\|mb6\|31}} she reluctantly agreed and shook hands with Wax. Wax asked her for one more favor, a ride back to Elendel{{book ref\|mb6\|30}} in exchange for provisions for her journey home.{{book ref\|mb6\|31}} ~~Jordish~~Jordis agreed with this also.{{book ref\|mb6\|31}} As they prepared to leave, Jordis likely had the skimmer from the ''Brunstell'' loaded aboard the salvaged airship as well.{{book ref\|mb6\|30}} === Returning Home === {{Mistborn\|Era 2}} [[category: viewpoint characters]] [[es:Jordis]]
